Paramahaṁsa: There's a verse in the Bhāgavatam that says that one moment's association with a pure devotee is greater than liberation from the material world or than innumerable...
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Paramahaṁsa: ...years of enjoyment on heavenly planets.
Prabhupāda: Yes.
Paramahaṁsa: My question is: A pure devotee, when he comments Bhagavad-gītā, someone who never sees him physically, but he just comes in contact with his commentary, explanation, is this the same thing?
Prabhupāda: Yes. You can associate with Kṛṣṇa by reading Bhagavad-gītā. And these saintly persons, they have given their explanations, comments. So where is the difficulty? Everyone is helping you.
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: You've said that the Bhagavad-gītā is Kṛṣṇa's mind.
Prabhupāda: Bhagavad-gītā is Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa is not different from His mind. Why do you say like that? This is material conception, the soul is different from body, the mind is different from soul. But Kṛṣṇa has no such difference. Therefore He's called absolute. Advaya-jñāna. His mind and Kṛṣṇa are the same. Kṛṣṇa and His name is the same. Kṛṣṇa and His words are the same. This is Kṛṣṇa understanding. Jesus Christ simply said that "Hallowed be Thy name." That means there is name. Now the question is why he did not say or utter the name? Now, there is already name. Why should he utter?
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: Right.
Prabhupāda: There is already name, Kṛṣṇa. So why should he utter?
Paramahaṁsa: Is that why Christ didn't utter the name of Kṛṣṇa?
Prabhupāda: No, he said, "Hallowed be Thy name. Hallowed be Thy name." So there is name already. That means he gave you chance to find out the name. And as he came to India, so you come to India and you'll get the name.
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: He was helping to lay the foundation for saṅkīrtana movement.
Prabhupāda: Yes. "Hallowed be Thy name." Yes. This is a chance for others to think, "Hallowed be Thy name." The name is glorified. "So where the name is glorified? Find out."
Bhagavān: I think we can turn around, this way.
Devotee: Let's go up by the river.
Bhagavān: Well, we have to go all the way round the lake to get to the car again.
Prabhupāda: Hare Kṛṣṇa.
Nitāi: Did you want to know where that was, "Hallowed be Thy name."?
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Nitāi: Were you asking where that was from?
Prabhupāda: No, you said. Somebody said it is, Christ said...
Nitāi: That's in what they call the Lord's Prayer, which was given by Christ himself. All the Catholics say that daily.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Nitāi: The Catholics repeat that prayer daily.
Prabhupāda: What is that?
Nitāi: The Lord's Prayer.
Prabhupāda: What is that prayer?
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: One devotee, he asked to Christ, "How should I pray?"
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: He said, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever and ever."
Prabhupāda: Very nice prayer. Very nice prayer. (pause)
Puṣṭa-kṛṣṇa: This is vandanam. Yes, Śrīla Prabhupāda?
Prabhupāda: Hmm.
